BERLIN, June 19.-In sentencing Lip
sic prisoners to-day the President OF tue
court referred 10 the object of the perl
otto league as being plainly the II IN
ques. of Alsace- Lorraine by an AIMED
force, involving g war of revenge. Ger
man subjects were guilty of high treason.
In taking q milder view Of the position OF
the accused the prosecution desired to
believe thst they were unaware OF the
significance of their acts. The mildness
of the sentence correspondent with the
tone of the imperial procurator through
out the tri6l. Blaich owes his two years
sentence to his svowel that he was
friend of Gambetta, and shareholder in
the Republique Franchise. Schiff Macher,
it was shown, also supplied funds
to French papers. Koechling's let
ter anticipating recovery of Alsace
after the death of the Emperor
helped to secure his conviction The
usual number of press reporters were
present for the German court. Most OF
the journalists in attendance were Ger
man, although facilities were also granted
the French and English press.
The BeichanZieger says the progress of
the Emperor toward recovery, as was to
be expected under the circumstances, is
slow but notable. His Majesty has lately
been able to leave his bed daily tor sew
eral hours, and has frequently received
verbal reports OF state matters. Never
theless, he will require great
care and Test in the future
The language OF the announcement,
though guarded, suggests that the time
has come when the Emperor must pass
away forever from sctive public duties.
Since his present illness set in thousands
of persons have daily been in waiting
before the palace in the hope that His
Majesty might appear ct window TO re-
ceive their homage, but he has not once
been able to do so. He is lifted from his
bed to chair, and il going thence TO
hear reports is supported into the Cabinet.
The official papers still talk of his going
20 eastern in August, but ell idea Of his
presence at the West Prussian maneuveTs
has been abandoned. His physicians for
hd another indiscretiOn like his Kiel
Journey, and order that the Emperor
henceforth undertake no duty that will
involve any strain upon him or chance
exposure,
Prince Bismarck rheumatism has eX-
tended to his Joiats. Before going to
FriedeTiChurs he was only able 10 walk
painfully with the aid of 5 cane in each
hand. He will 90 this summer to Kiss
ingen for the sake OF the waters. Off
Gals of the Chancellene expect g pro-
lOnged period of diplomatic calm,
Professor VirchOW's report of his an
nalysis OF the growth removed from the
Crown Princes throat, which appears in
the Klinichi WaChenschneft, fails to quiet
the public anxiety. The report is written
for the medical profession in technical
language. Public interest centers in the
concluding passage of the report, in
which Prof VirchOW stirms favorable
prOgnOsis so fer as his analysis went, but
expresses uncertainty as to whether il is
juStitiable for the maladY as whole. 1t
has tTauspired that Prof. Virchow
did not meet DR.. Mackenzie during the
latter's stay in Germany. Each kept his
own special domain; neither is yet will
ing to declare the absolute certainty of g
cure.
Bismarck, in TIE capacity of Minister
of Commerce and Trade, has ordered the
newly established trade chambers 20 make
annual reports similar to those of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The police have renewed their &C
tivity for the repression Of the
socialists. At Bestan, speeches OF dom
icles are constantly being made The

and Geiser and five other persons ar
rested.
The Lelpsic socialists, Seebsch Ameer
and Sen idt, the editor of the working
mans psper, have been expelled from
the country. Herbert, the fugitive from
Stelliea, has also been ordered TO quit
the country.
At SOnnerberg q number of associates
of the socialist Christensen,
who was recently expelled,
had an encounter with the police
and several of them were wounded and
taken into custody. The police have been
provoked by q widespread circular of adj
dress of the Central Socialists committee,
signed Gallemberger, Hasencleve, Lieben-
sort, Meister and Singer. IL WIS issued
at Berlin and spread everywhere before
the police knew or could interfere with
its distribution. Herr Krupp will pub
fish daily paper solely for circulation
among his workmen at Elsen.
